Really low on energy, completely drained on Friday, hence the skipped recording. Today was pretty difficult, but I used my rudimentary ego-depletion protocol after sitting around procrastinating at my computer. It worked. I'd like to do an experiment on this, and after a bit of research found an ego depletion scale. The original paper describing it is hard to track down, but there is what looks to be a dissertation posted online from the Netherlands that has the scale in its appendix.

This is interesting in that it gives me a metric to measure states of ego depletion and how best to practically circumvent them. It also, if inverted, could potentially give me a willpower metric, something that's been sorely missing in my larger theory, and could get me a step closer in coming up with a self-help equation.
